That's a damn fine idea. Take a selfie with the final scoreboard in the background and e-mail to info@bobcatattack.com (or tweet to @BobcatAttack) and we'll enter you in a drawing to win a BobcatAttack golf shirt. Odds will be good I suspect.

Has anyone actually seen these golf shirts? I've been waiting for one for seven years. Ted, think St. Johns.

We may not know how cold it has to be to cancel a game, but thanks to Buffalo we now the answer on how much snow it takes to cancel one (about 4-5 feet)

People there claim less than a foot of snow in the area of the UB stadium.

The reported snow fall (about a foot) in the Amherst NY area (where UB and it's stadium is located) is probably accurate, but the Kent State football equipment truck was, at last report, still stuck

Found a fantastic time-lapse video of the Buffalo storm:

Looks like there might've been places where one side of the street got hammered and the other side got very little.

We will get by.
We will get by.

We will survive.

Modest proposal: If ESPN keeps insisting on these mid-week games in November as part of the MAC contract, they should put up the money to buy inflatable domes for all the MAC stadiums they wish to broadcast from.

Game was cancelled because the Kent State equipment never made it to Buffalo. They left earlier than the team and got caught in the closure of I-90. The team took an alternate route which took them over 9 hours.
